Not with a partner but just in general:
In Ireland it’s customary to say no to anything offered to be polite. Even if you really want it. Eg:
“Will you have a cup of tea?”
“No, thanks”
“Ah go on”
“No, I’m fine”
“Go on”
“Ok, if it’s not too much trouble.”
Turns out in America if you say no they just say “ok” and you never get your tea. Crazy Americans how dare they not be able to read my mind!
